The San Francisco school board unanimously voted late Monday to approve a $9 million contract with a new school lunch provider — a decision that brings an end to frozen meals shipped from Chicago.

Revolution Foods will provide city 33,000 meals and snacks to city school kids starting on Jan. 7, the first day back from winter break.

The meals are expected to be healthier, fresher and as much as possible, made from sustainably produced and locally grown foods.

That means no artificial ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial trans fats, nothing fried, and all of it made by a real person in a real chef hat at the company’s headquarters in Oakland.

The district will spend a bit more to the fresh food — $1.95 per meal, up from $1.79 it now spends. The 18-month contract caps the cost at $9 million annually.
